The Promise: God Works All Things Together for Your Good

Loved the perspective this book provided - all things work together for the good of those who love God and who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). The author focuses on this verse but also draws on the context of Romans, connects this verse to other scripture, and ultimately points to the sovereignty and goodness of God. God has perspective and understanding that we do not have and may not understand or see this side of heaven. I heard in a sermon recently that if we knew all that God knows, we would answer our prayers the very same way He does. He knows what discipline and training we need. He knows what we need and how this may be distinct from what we want. Reading this book helped walk me through comprehending the weight and truth of Romans 8:28 and better appreciate God's sovereignty.
